In fact, the YeCers that are most qualified tend to come from secular universities, often start out as evolutionists, and are mentored by evolutionists - not creationists.
Right. And then they find Jesus, or whatever, experience a religious conversion to Christian fundamentalism, and what a surprise! They find the evidence for evolution suddenly "lacking".
It never seems to happen in the reverse, does it? That an irreligious atheist evolutionist suddenly wakes up, finds the scientific evidence totally lacking, and becomes a devotee of Intelligent Design, before finally determining that the Intelligent Designer is the God of Abraham?
It's a religious-driven movement. Not a science-driven one.
